SOLUTION: The directions say "Is the relationship shown by the data linear? If it is, model the data with an equation." The problem looks like this: X Y 2 3 3 7 4 11

Question 85632: The directions say "Is the relationship shown by the data linear? If it is, model the data with an equation."
The problem looks like this:
X Y
2 3
3 7
4 11
5 15
I have no idea what to do and no book to look to for help.
Thanks.

One approach is to plot the given points (x, y) on coordinate graph paper and then work out the equation for the line or curve.
Let's see what the graph might look like when we plot the given points:
(x, y)
------
(2, 3)
(3, 7)
(4, 11)
(5, 15)
